The other bad news is Utah has the highest reported rate of Melanoma increase.
Now for the good news...
Don't go sailing without the very best Melanoma protection ...
under the sun.

Great article on "Sailing Etiquette"
(Sail Magazine, January 2020)
It is clichéd to say so, but it really is true: the best crew leave a boat better than they found it. This may not be possible on a short race or day sail, but if you're spending days on an OPD (Other People's Boat), look for extracurricular jobs you can do that will improve the boat's condition. Whip the ends of lines that are fraying; clean up and organize some neglected locker or cupboard; wipe up behind the stove. Any action you take demonstrating that you care about the boat is sure to be noticed and will earn you major brownie points. And when cleaning the galley - or yourself for that matter - it is best to use fresh water sparingly, even if the boat has a water maker. Likewise, even if the boat has a generator, be sure to to conserve electrical power whenever possible. Do not leave lights on or taps running. Any alert skipper will notice and appreciate your careful use of resources.
